Century 31 Autopilot Repair


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any suggestions for a repair shop on the East Coast that works on Century 31 autopilots?  I am not interested in sending the box out, I want a shop to be able to look at the wiring, servos, switches etc.  If the Autotrim switch is on, mine will randomly go to a full trim pitch up and then "stick" there.  It takes a good bit of force (with the autopilot off) to back the trim wheel off to the point that the plane is controllable.  Not a pleasant feeling.  The self test function on the 31 passes all the tests as long as the Autotrim switch is off.

If you are in the Northeast, go to KMQS and see Chris Vinciguerro at SureFlight avionics. As far as troubleshooting autopilots goes without just replacing parts, he is one of the best. You may try contacting @Rmag to set up an appointment.

Thanks for the info.  I will get in touch with SureFlight.
